Former West Ham striker Dean Ashton thinks Moyes could be a good option for the club.

"He’s vasty experienced and had many years in the Premier League," he told Radio Five Live.

"The job he did at Everton so fantastic on the budget he had there.

"West Ham, especially having played there, they need someone to inspire the fans and the players.

"People say ‘you need someone who knows the club’. I don’t think so.

"You need someone who inspires people and gets the fans and players back on side.

"The club is losing its structure at the moment."

On potential other options, Ashton added: "For me you need someone who has got real inner confidence and shows that.

"Someone like Roberto Mancini or Alan Pardew. He’s full of confidence and has been at West Ham before.

"Even Ronald Koeman has a huge amount of confidence.

"I don’t know what went wrong for him at Everton but if you look at someone for the long term West Ham would have taken him from Southampton at a heartbeat. All because he’s had a few bad months at Everton… I would still take him. I think he’s a fantastic manager.

"There are managers out there.

"Moyes seems the safe option if you think about grinding out until the end of the season."
